dilip, you can check all the phones with xenon flash here: http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sName=&idMaker=0&idAvailability=0&nPriceLow=0&nPriceHigh=0&idCurrency=0&idFormFactor=0&HeightMax=0&WidthMax=0&ThicknessMax=0&WeightMax=0&idAntenna=0&idOS=0&idDisplay=0&idDisplayRes=0&idTouchscreen=0&idCamera=0&idCameraFlash=0&idVideoRecorder=0&idExpansionCard=0&idGPS=0&bWLAN=0&bEDGE=0&bGPRS=0&idBluetooth=0&bIR=0&bEmail=0&bWAP=0&bJava=0&idRadio=0&bMMS=0&idRingtones=0&bGames=0&sColor=&sFreeText=xenon

Earlier I said N95 screen does not rotate automatically but, if you install rotateMe 2.0 then, it can rotate automatically. It is free for download here http://www.bysamir.fr/rotateme/

But you need to get a Nokia dealer or someone with a symbian membership (publisher ID) to sign it for you. Or hope for new version rotateMe that no need to sign to use...

If you are using your phone to watch movie, play games, snap a lot of photos and videos and want the best quality, go for N95. Remember N95 is a very big phone and heavy, it feels like a brick in your pocket. 5610 is very slim and light.

If you only listen to music and don't need the best camera, and want the best speaker, go for 5610 (also you save a lot of money). Please decide yourself.

          Dilip
          The n78 uses stereo speakers.
          According to a review at smape.com, the speakers are quite loud and the sound quality is slightly better than 5610, but im waiting for gsmarena to confirm this. N78 should be available in a few days. Vodaphone is releasing it on may 15 which is 4 days from now.
          Between the 5610 and n95, i would choose 5610 because it has a better battery life, better music quality, is lighter and much cheaper. The only negative thing is that it isnt a smart phone so installing programs like quickoffice is out of the question. Hope i helped.

            I have rotate me but it does not work on N73. I tried to install it but nothing happens when I open it.

            I think it only works for N95...

              dilip,

              N95 is almost double the price of 5610 (N95 8GB is more than double) so it is sure a more powerful phone than 5610. As I said, everything is better on the N95 than 5610, except 5610 speaker is louder and clearer.

              5610 has a big speaker. N95 has two tiny speakers. One big speaker is still louder than two tiny speakers.

              N78 is not for sale yet. It will only be available in 2-3 months time. So, nobody knows what speakers it uses yet.

              N95 is made of (very good quality) plastic.

              CIF is 352x288 = 0.1mp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Intermediate_Format)

              You can take photo/video using N95 front camera but the quality is like a cheap webcam. It can only save the photo at 320x240 (not 352x288). If you use it for the phone background wallpaper or photos of your contact names then still ok. But if you load to the computer to see on screen (or print out) then the quality is bad.

              5610 cannot use the front camera to take photo or video. It will only activate when you make a video call. Otherwise, you can't even test it or use as mirror etc.

              The LED flash is good for near objects only (less than 1 meter). For far objects, you need xenon flash (like what N82, or "real" digital cameras use).

              No N95 screen does not rotate automatically.

              You can call me Max if you want...

                                  Hi can someone please help me!!! I bought the Nokia 5610 and think it is fab, but can I download music videos to it via my pc. I have had a look in Nokia Music Manager and cant find out how to do it. I can transfer music onto it but not videos. The videos were in mpg and I converted them to mp4, but still cant move them over. If someone can help me I would be grateful. Many thanks for looking at my problem.

                                    One more note, the camera lens will only affect the photo clarity but not the color! The brightness/contrast/color etc depends on the camera sensor, not the lens!

                                    Of course, the phone software can also adjust the brightness/contrast/color automatically or even manually, so if the photo color is not natural, it is not because of the lens, it should be the sensor or the software! So I think 5610 has a great sensor and/or software which produces better/more natural color for the photo.

                                    N73/6500 slide with Carl Zeiss lens might be slightly clearer on very fine details (eg water, cloth, fur etc), but for most people I think they cannot really feel the difference.

                                      Tessar is the name for a type of lens made by the company called (Carl) Zeiss. Vario Tessar is another kind of zoom lens, maybe you can read from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessar

                                        If you want everything best, get the N95. The 5MP camera beats any 3.2MP camera. Also you can capture video at 640x480 30fps which is like DVD quality! 5610 only 15fps (webcam quality). Either way don't worry there is no box like thing for both phones.

                                        The only thing that is better on 5610 is the louder and clearer speaker than N95. But N95 speaker is not too bad also. It's not as loud as 5610 and N73, but it is not noisy like N73 as well. Clarity is average (better than N73, but not as crystal-clear as 5610).

                                        If you listen on earphones or external speaker or connect to your car or home theater, the sound quality is the same for all phones.

                                        Well, good luck! Remember to test the phone and happy with the quality before u buy!
